Definitions
- the present invention relates to liquid crystalline media and to liquid crystal displays comprising these media, especially to displays addressed by an active matrix (AMDs) and in particular to displays addressed by thin film transistors (TFTs), especially for projection type displays.
- the TFTs are prepared on silicon (LCoS).
- the inventive media are also well suited for displays of the optically compensated bend (OCB) mode.
- Liquid Crystal Displays are widely used to display information. Electro-optical modes employed are, e.g., the twisted nematic (TN)-, the super twisted nematic (STN)-, the optically compensated bend (OCB)- and the electrically controlled birefringence (ECB)-mode with their various modifications, as well as others.
- TN twisted nematic
- STN super twisted nematic
- OCB optically compensated bend
- ECB electrically controlled birefringence
- electro-optical modes employing an electrical field substantially parallel to the substrates, respectively the liquid crystal layer, like, e.g., the In-Plane Switching mode (as disclosed, e.g., in DE 40 00 451 and EP 0 588 568).
- the In-Plane Switching mode as disclosed, e.g., in DE 40 00 451 and EP 0 588 568.
- this electrooptical mode is used for LCDs for modern desk top monitors.
- the liquid crystals according to the present invention are preferably used in AM addressed displays in particular in TFTs displays, especially for projection type displays.
- the TFTs are prepared on silicon (LCoS).
- the inventive media are also well suited for displays of the OCB mode.
- the birefingence ( ⁇ n) should be sufficiently high.
- the dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) should be high enough to allow a reasonably low operation voltage.
- ⁇ should be higher than 7 and very preferably be higher than 9, or even higher than 10, but preferably not higher than 19 and in particular not higher than 15. Otherwise, the resistivity of the mixtures tends to become inacceptably low for most TN-AMDs.
- the media have to exhibit a suitably wide range of the nematic phase, a rather small rotational viscosity and, as mentioned above, an at least moderately high specific resistivity.
- the displays according to the present invention are preferably addressed by an active matrix (active matrix LCDs, short AMDs), preferably by a matrix of thin film transistors (TFTs).
- active matrix LCDs active matrix LCDs, short AMDs
- TFTs thin film transistors
- inventive liquid crystals can also beneficialiously be used in displays with other known addressing means.
- liquid crystal materials of low molecular weight together with polymeric materials such as, e.g., polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)-, nematic curvilinearily aligned phase (NCAP)- and polymer network (PN)-systems, as disclosed, for example, in WO 91/05029 or axially symmetric microdomain (ASM) systems and others.
- PDLC polymer dispersed liquid crystal
- NCAP nematic curvilinearily aligned phase
- PN polymer network
- the modes especially preferred according to the instant invention are using the liquid crystal medium as such, oriented on surfaces. These surfaces typically are pretreated to achieve uniform alignment of the liquid crystal material.
- the display modes according to the instant invention preferably use an electrical field substantially perpendicular to the composite layer.
- LCDs are used for direct view displays, as well as for projection type displays.
- Liquid crystal compositions with a high value of the birefringence suitable for LCDs and especially for AMD displays are known, e.g., from U.S. Pat. No. 5,328,644, JP 06-264 059 (A) and DE 199 19 348. These compositions, however, do all have significant drawbacks. Most of them have, amongst other deficiencies, too low values of the birefringence and/or require operation voltages which are too high. Many of them also have too low resistivities, especially after exposure to elevated temperature and/or intense actinic radiation, in particular strong visible light and/or UV radiation. Many of the media of the prior art do further lead to unfavourably long response times.
- liquid crystalline media with suitable properties for practical applications such as a wide nematic phase range, low viscosities, a high ⁇ , a sufficiently high resistivity and, in particular, an appropriately high optical anisotropy ⁇ n, according to the display mode used.
- liquid crystalline media with a suitably high ⁇ , a suitable phase range, ⁇ n and a sufficiently high resistivity can be realised, which do not exhibit the drawbacks of the materials of the prior art or at least do exhibit them to a significantly lesser degree.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to liquid crystalline media and to liquid crystal displays comprising these media, especially to displays addressed by an active matrix (AMDs) and in particular to displays addressed by thin film transistors (TFTs), especially for projection type displays. Preferably, the TFTs are prepared on silicon (LCoS). The inventive media are also well suited for displays of the optically compensated bend (OCB) mode.
- Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are widely used to display information. Electro-optical modes employed are, e.g., the twisted nematic (TN)-, the super twisted nematic (STN)-, the optically compensated bend (OCB)- and the electrically controlled birefringence (ECB)-mode with their various modifications, as well as others. Besides these modes, which all do use an electrical field, which is substantially perpendicular to the substrates, respectively to the liquid crystal layer, there are also electro-optical modes employing an electrical field substantially parallel to the substrates, respectively the liquid crystal layer, like, e.g., the In-Plane Switching mode (as disclosed, e.g., in DE 40 00 451 and EP 0 588 568). Especially this electrooptical mode is used for LCDs for modern desk top monitors.
- The liquid crystals according to the present invention are preferably used in AM addressed displays in particular in TFTs displays, especially for projection type displays. Preferably the TFTs are prepared on silicon (LCoS). The inventive media are also well suited for displays of the OCB mode.
- For these displays new liquid crystalline media with improved properties are required. Especially the birefingence (Δn) should be sufficiently high. Further, the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) should be high enough to allow a reasonably low operation voltage. Preferably, Δε should be higher than 7 and very preferably be higher than 9, or even higher than 10, but preferably not higher than 19 and in particular not higher than 15. Otherwise, the resistivity of the mixtures tends to become inacceptably low for most TN-AMDs. Besides this parameter, the media have to exhibit a suitably wide range of the nematic phase, a rather small rotational viscosity and, as mentioned above, an at least moderately high specific resistivity.
- The displays according to the present invention are preferably addressed by an active matrix (active matrix LCDs, short AMDs), preferably by a matrix of thin film transistors (TFTs). However, the inventive liquid crystals can also beneficiously be used in displays with other known addressing means.
- There are various different display modes using composite systems of liquid crystal materials of low molecular weight together with polymeric materials such as, e.g., polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)-, nematic curvilinearily aligned phase (NCAP)- and polymer network (PN)-systems, as disclosed, for example, in WO 91/05029 or axially symmetric microdomain (ASM) systems and others. In contrast to these, the modes especially preferred according to the instant invention are using the liquid crystal medium as such, oriented on surfaces. These surfaces typically are pretreated to achieve uniform alignment of the liquid crystal material. The display modes according to the instant invention preferably use an electrical field substantially perpendicular to the composite layer.
- LCDs are used for direct view displays, as well as for projection type displays.
- Liquid crystal compositions with a high value of the birefringence suitable for LCDs and especially for AMD displays are known, e.g., from U.S. Pat. No. 5,328,644, JP 06-264 059 (A) and DE 199 19 348. These compositions, however, do all have significant drawbacks. Most of them have, amongst other deficiencies, too low values of the birefringence and/or require operation voltages which are too high. Many of them also have too low resistivities, especially after exposure to elevated temperature and/or intense actinic radiation, in particular strong visible light and/or UV radiation. Many of the media of the prior art do further lead to unfavourably long response times.
- Thus, there is a significant need for liquid crystalline media with suitable properties for practical applications such as a wide nematic phase range, low viscosities, a high Δε, a sufficiently high resistivity and, in particular, an appropriately high optical anisotropy Δn, according to the display mode used.
- Surprisingly, it now has been found that liquid crystalline media with a suitably high Δε, a suitable phase range, Δn and a sufficiently high resistivity can be realised, which do not exhibit the drawbacks of the materials of the prior art or at least do exhibit them to a significantly lesser degree.

The voltage applied is a rectangular wave with a frequency of 1 kHz and a root mean square value typically of 0.5 V to 1.0 V, however, it is always selected to be below the capacitive threshold of the respective test mixture.

- The ranges of parameters given in this application are all including the limiting values, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Throughout this application, unless explicitly stated otherwise, all concentrations are given in mass percent and relate to the respective complete mixture, all temperatures are given in degrees centigrade (Celsius) and all differences of temperatures in degrees centigrade. All physical properties have been and are determined according to “Merck Liquid Crystals, Physical Properties of Liquid Crystals”, Status November 1997, Merck KGaA, Germany and are given for a temperature of 20° C., unless explicitly stated otherwise. The optical anisotropy (Δn) is determined at a wavelength of 589.3 nm. The dielectric anisotropy (Δε) is determined at a frequency of 1 kHz. The threshold voltages, as well as all other electro-optical properties have been determined with test cells prepared at Merck KGaA, Germany. The test cells for the determination of Δε had a cell gap of 22 μm. The electrode was a circular ITO electrode with an area of 1.13 cm2 and a guard ring. The orientation layers were lecithin for homeotropic orientation (ε∥) and polyimide AL-1054 from Japan Synthetic Rubber for homogeneuous orientation (ε⊥). The capacities were determined with a frequency response analyser Solatron 1260 using a sine wave with a voltage of 0.3 Vrms. The light used in the electro-optical measurements was white light. The set up used was a commercially available equipment of Otsuka, Japan. The characteristic voltages have been determined under perpendicular observation. The threshold (V10)—mid grey (V50)—and saturation (V90) voltages have been determined for 10%, 50% and 90% relative contrast, respectively.
- The liquid crystal media according to the present invention can contain further additives and chiral dopants in usual concentrations.

The concentrations of the individual compounds used each are preferably in the range of 0.1% to 3%. The concentration of these and of similar additives is not taken into consideration for the values and ranges of the concentrations of the liquid crystal components and compounds of the liquid crystal media in this application.
- The inventive liquid crystal media according to the present invention consist of several compounds, preferably of 3 to 30, more preferably of 8 to 20 and most preferably of 10 to 16 compounds.
- These compounds are mixed in conventional way. As a rule, the required amount of the compound used in the smaller amount is dissolved in the compound used in the greater amount. In case the temperature is above the clearing point of the compound used in the higher concentration, it is particularly easy to observe completion of the process of dissolution. It is, however, also possible to prepare the media by other conventional ways, e.g. using so called pre-mixtures, which can be e.g. homologous or eutectic mixtures of compounds or using so called multi-bottle-systems, the constituents of which are ready to use mixtures themselves.
- By addition of suitable additives, the liquid crystal media according to the instant invention can be modified in such a way, that they are usable in all known types of liquid crystal displays, either using the liquid crystal media as such, like TN-, TN-AMD, ECB-AMD, VAN-AMD, IPS and OCB LCDs and in particular in composite systems, like PDLC, NCAP, PN LCDs and especially in projectoin type TFT displays.
